KS4 English Study

During years 10 and 11, all pupils follow an English course studying both English language and English literature. Every pupil in our school (and, indeed, nationally) has to sit both a language and a literature exam.

We follow the Edexcel English language and English literature specification which culminates in four exams, two for each subject. Studying GCSE skills and texts begins explicitly in year 9; however, key GCSE skills, text styles (such as 19th century novels); and GCSE style assessments are woven throughout our KS3 curriculum
